Thank you Tammy,I loved my years of living in Tijeras….we lived in the Manzanos near Chilili and Escabosa (7500 feet elevation) if you are familiar with that area. We still have family off of 217 as well as Moriarty and Albuquerque. Many people don’t understand that New Mexico is definitely the land of enchantment…they think it is mostly desert, but there is so much beauty there.
And thank you so very much for loving my blog…It is readers and followers like you that keep me going.
Hugs

My favorite sister-in-law, (I use a lot of her N.M. recipes) could not respond on her computer to this post so I am forwarding bits of her email for her.

“You made my mouth water. Love your recipes…they always look so delicious & always right on!!! Since Chubby’s closed many years ago, if we want to eat a great green chile cheeseburger, we go into Albuquerque to Whataburger, they are the best! One can get them with hot green chile, mushrooms, grilled onions, chorizo, etc. Love the way you explained chili & chile and love the blog. You’re the best!”

Well, I must say that now you know why she is my favorite sister-in-law! Hugs right back at ya, Sis….Stay warm and thanks for trying to get your comment on the blog post. 🙂
